I was gifted a crock pot duo, the one with 2-2.5 qt crocks. I did use it to cook up two kinds of meat once but it was just enough for one meal for my family of 5 and enough for one lunch. I am starting to feel this is just going to be a waste of space in my kitchen if I don't find a use for it soon.

Hey tasb,
For a family of five, I can see that a 2.5 qt crock would be small for a meal in one pot, but using both might be useful at times.
I've read a few reviews and brain-stormed a little and here's a few ideas:
- parties to serve 2 dishes
- vegetable dish in one, meat in other
- chicken in one, beef in another
- two different pasta sauces
- a roast in one (a full pot holds 4 to 5 lbs) and vegetables in the other
Not an avalanche of ideas, for sure, but I hope it helps.
